Global Risk Update - January 15, 2025


Executive Summary:

The global security landscape is increasingly complex, with significant developments in geopolitical tensions, cybersecurity threats, and strategic maneuvers in critical regions. Key issues include heightened aggression in the South China Sea, potential disruptions in subsea infrastructure, and significant policy shifts in the automotive industry.


Regional Highlights:

  • Asia-Pacific: The Philippines has accused China of heightened aggression in the South China Sea, particularly near the Scarborough Shoal, raising concerns over regional stability and freedom of navigation. (Source)

  • Europe: Recent incidents suggest a shadow war targeting subsea cables and pipelines, with alleged sabotage in the Baltic region. These actions threaten critical infrastructure that underpins global communications and energy supplies. (Source)

  • North America: In a decisive move, the U.S. has banned the sale and import of connected cars and related technology from China, citing data security concerns. This policy, effective from the 2027 model year, aims to protect national security but may disrupt global automotive supply chains. (Source)


Thematic Analysis Cybersecurity Threats:

The UK's cybersecurity sector is experiencing significant growth, with the market projected to expand at a 10.4% CAGR between 2023 and 2028. This underscores the increasing importance of robust cybersecurity measures in the face of evolving digital threats. (Source)
